  • Negative saline smear for Trichomonas vaginalis

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects with known hypersensitivity to imidazoles or triazoles and their analogues.
  • Subjects presenting a protozoan infection as confirmed by microscopic investigation.
  • Pregnant, breast feeding or lactating subjects.
  • Subjects with suspected bacterial vaginal infection.
